Welcome to Bottle Tree Plantations

Authorised Propagators APQWO/0002/002868

We Specialise in the propagation, transplanting, marketing and distribution of Australian Bottle Trees (Brachychiton rupestris) and other Brachychiton family members.  Bottle Trees are one of the most dignified of all Australian Native Trees.  There are many photos on this site for your benefits that may take a few moments to download.  The pictures really show the uniqueness, the versatility and individuality of Bottle Trees.

We urge you to view the pictures of each page of this site and marvel at all the different shapes and sizes that display the uniqueness of bottle trees. The pictures do all the talking.

I am Doug Sowerbutts, the founder of Bottle Tree Plantations, my interest in Bottle Trees goes back to the early 90's when I use to travel to a property at Murgon in SE Queensland for a Christmas break and always marvelled at the sheer elegance and beauty of these magnificent trees in their natural habitat. My brother Ted and i grew a few trees in pots from seeds I collected at Murgon and later went on to grow the trees in larger quantities at Helidon, an hour west of Brisbane.

We offer expert advice on all aspects on Bottle Tree growing, care, landscape design, transplantation and export.  Please contact us anytime.


The smaller bottle tree (left, right and bottom left) was propagated from seed and transplanted in May 2007 at the Botanical Gardens Sydney for literally thousands of people to see and enjoy over many generations.
A Supreme Feature Tree.


This beautiful Bottle Tree (right) was saved and transplanted from a mine site in Queensland to this spectacular location in the Sydney Botanic Gardens - November 2007

(The clear plastic guard around the tree is to protect it from Possums climbing the tree to eat all the foliage.)
